Chap of the Year
Separate the Gentlemen from the Boys at Chap of the Year
The creators of The Chap Magazine have announced that the eagerly awaited final heat of the Chap of the Year contest will be held on Saturday 21st May 2011. In true Chap style, the event will be a stylish soiree doused in cocktails and peppered with live musical entertainment and witty repartee.
Taking place at The Grand Hall, a beautiful 1930’s ballroom in central London, The Chap Magazine’s inaugural Chap of the Year contest will set out to find the individual whose entire being personifies the ethos of the Chap. The three-round contest will be a celebration of elegant dress, grooming and good manners, as the ten caddish challengers are asked to pit their gentlemanly skills against one another in front of a live audience.
What exactly is a Chap? A true Chap crosses boundaries of age, race, social class and even gender – indeed even a lady can be a chap in this contest. A chap is a person who saunters about the world, dressed immaculately from head to toe, perfectly groomed and with such good manners that everywhere he or she goes, they leave a trail behind of good cheer, open doors, freshly dusted seats and bonhomie.
Throughout the evening, the audience will be able to ruminate on the debonair displays and whom they deem fit to wear this coveted crown, all while enjoying delicious classic cocktails from the Bourne and Hollingsworth bar. Following the award ceremony, the party continues. Guests will be entertained by live bands, vintage DJs and amusing sideshows, or by exchanging romantic missives with other guests via a butler with expert match making skills.
